My impression is that they do that at the start of every year to try to get fans of the past season (in Japan at least, mostly little girls) interested in and excited about the new series and characters. At least I'm pretty sure I remember seeing something about a crossover movie with the Huggto...

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into those! Unfortunately it's been a little tricky to stick with longer story-driven games recently because I don't usually have long-stretches of uninterrupted game-playing time, but I'll see what I can do.

My wife and I used RPG Maker VX for a while, which was really good for quickly making simple RPG's. I haven't used XP, but I think VX was supposed to be more powerful. You could also do more complicated things with custom scripts. The problem was that we ended up wanting to do so many custom...

This is partly a migration of a conversation with Fallen Heart, but anyone can feel free to join! I love Unreal Engine, but it also has a pretty steep learning curve compared to something like RPG-Maker. So whether or not its right for you depends on why you want to make games and what you'll...

Coming back to the realities of what I could actually make. I want to make a 2D action platformer that makes you feel like you have the speed, agility, and power of a magical girl. The closest comparison I can come up with to what I'm going for is sort of a combination of Sonic, Kirby, and Mega...

I have all sorts of ideas for this! First, a completely unrealistic idea that I'll never be able to make and will probably never exist: A warriors (Musou) style Magical Girl game where you get to play as characters from a variety of Magical Girl anime such as Precure, Madoka Magica, and Sailor...

I've enjoyed too many different kinds of games to go into all of it in a quick reply, but I've enjoyed a lot of Platformers- Mario, Yoshi, Kirby, Mega Man, Sonic RPG's- Chrono Trigger, some Final Fantasy, Golden Sun, Pokemon, Morrowind, Persona 4, Mother/Earthbound, Radiant Historia Adventure-...

Yeah, some of the more beginner-friendly game-making software is really good for quickly making certain types of games, but sometimes it's not as stable or flexible. With things like Game Maker and RPG-Maker they were great for getting the start of a game up and running quickly, but I would...

Thanks for the welcome! I would love to see more Magical Girl games too! Japan has Precure games, but those seem like they're mainly cute, simple mini-game collections for little girls. Nothing wrong with that, I'm just not really the target audience. And a lot of games that could be considered...

Thanks! And yeah, Japan is fun! We don't have the money and space to get fun merchandise all the time, but we do have a few older precure seasons on DVD and a couple of art books. DVD's are usually pretty expensive in Japan, but sometimes you can get some older ones for cheaper if you get them...

Hello, and happy new year! My name is Mark. My wife and I are Americans who have been living in Japan for a couple of years. We like watching Precure together, and my favorite series so far is probably HeartCatch. I'm an indie game designer, and am currently working on a Magical Girl inspired...
